    Omid Roustaei | www.thecaspianchef.com | www.instagram.com/thecaspianchef About Persian Cuisine Persian cuisine is one of the world’s great gastronomies, flourishing for centuries across an area that, at the height of the ancient Persian Empire (circa 550 to 330 B.C.), included modern-day Iran, along with parts of Iraq, Macedonia, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. The repertoire of dishes is fragrant, diverse, and highly refined, based on complex culinary techniques. They are imbued with fresh flowers and herbs like rose petals, fenugreek, and mint; spices like saffron, sumac, and cardamom; fruits like pomegranate and barberry; all kinds of citrus; and nuts, including pistachios and almonds. If this roster of ingredients sounds familiar, it’s because Persian cooking has influenced Middle Eastern, Moroccan, Northern Indian, and Turkish cuisines yet itself remains somewhat below the radar. Typical Iranian main dishes are combinations of rice with meat (such as lamb, chicken, or fish), vegetables, and nuts. Fresh green herbs are frequently used, along with fruits such as plums, pomegranates, quinces, prunes, apricots, and raisins. Characteristic Iranian flavorings such as saffron, dried limes, cinnamon, turmeric, and fresh herbs are mixed and used in various dishes. The agriculture of Iran produces many fruits and vegetables. Thus, a bowl of fresh fruit is common on Iranian tables, and vegetables are standard sides to most meals. These are not only enjoyed fresh and ripe as desserts but are also combined with meat and form accompaniments to main dishes. When fresh fruits are not available, a large variety of dried fruits such as dates, figs, apricots, and peaches are used instead.

  • Iran's Traditional Foods
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ZENODO Iran’s Traditional Foods: A Heritage Worth Renewing By Soroush Niknamian ention Persia (modern-day Iran) in everyday con- versation, and you will likely evoke immediate Mimages of Persia’s rich cultural heritage—ornate woven carpets or the elegant poetry of Rumi, for example. However, Iran also deserves to be known and celebrated for its rich and varied traditional cuisine. In the past, traditionally prepared items that featured raw milk and bone broth were commonplace in the animal-fat-rich Iranian diet. These included Lighvan, a semihard cheese made from raw sheep’s milk (or a combination of raw sheep’s and goat’s milk), and Ab-goosht, a peas- ant stew that translates literally as “meat water” because it relies on the core ingredients of lamb shanks and neck bones to create a broth abundant in minerals, gelatin and collagen. Nowadays, unfortunately, the Iranian diet is much more likely to highlight cheap (in the short term) food industry standards such as vegetable oils, margarine, soy and sodas. Iran also has succumbed to Western fears about animal fats. As a result of this ongoing “nutrition transition,” diet-related chronic diseases are on the rise and are a leading cause of mortality.1 36 Wise Traditions WINTER 2016 From the 800s AD onward, Persia was inter- pomegranates, quince, apricots, prunes and Avicenna nationally admired for its scientific and cultural dates; and distinctive herbs, spices and flavoring leadership. The influential eleventh-century agents such as mint, parsley, saffron, cinnamon observed Persian philosopher and scientist Avicenna and rosewater.

CONGRATULATIONS, FEZANA The Federation of the Zoroastrian Association of North America (FEZANA) was registered in the State of Illinois, USA, on June 2, 1987 as a non-profit, religious and charitable organization. In the twenty-five years since them FEZANA has had many accomplishments. In July 1996, we undertook a "Strategic Planning" exercise (FEZANA Journal, Fall 1996) which identified four collective goals for the community and the organization. One of the goals was “a thousand points of light” aimed at preserving our community’s religious and cultural entity. This publication, “Eat, Live, Pray: A celebration of Zarathushti culture and cuisine” upholds this goal. Food plays a very important role in our Zarathushti psyche. We create all varieties of food for different occasions; special food for happy occasions and we also have food for the dead in our religious ceremonies. In the Summer, 2011 edition of the FEZANA Journal, Sarosh and Benafsha Khariwala together with Arnavaz Chubb, all in Melbourne, Australia, explored the concept of “Food as Our Identity”.

National cuisine can tell many interesting things about the culture and history of a country, and in this sense, Azerbaijani cuisine, with its excellent taste and quality characteristics, as it were, speaks for itself. As early as the Neolithic period, the population in Azerbaijan cul- tivated wheat and barley, which served as the basis for their diet along with meat. In the Bronze Age, with the development of cattle- breeding, dairy products came into the diet of our ancestors. Dishes of Azerbaijani cuisine are mentioned in ancient writ- ten sources, the records of trav- elers and explorers, merchants and diplomats. It’s no secret that Yarpag dolmasi 46 www.irs-az.com Dushbara the culinary art of Azerbaijan is popular with many nations of the world, especially in the East. Azer- baijan has long been known for local varieties of grapes and fruit, which contributed significantly to the enrichment of national cuisine. One of the important factors in- fluencing Azerbaijani cuisine is reli- gion. Muslim festivals and various rit- uals, including fasting, had a strong influence on diet and nutrition. Home cooking and eating has long served as the primary ethno- graphic feature of Azerbaijanis in both cities and rural areas. Using old culinary recipes from generation to generation, housewives have ex- panded the range of dishes and im- proved their quality.
